The Gold Coast waters of South Eastern Queensland Australia are warm, clean, diverse and productive to anybody who enjoys the sport of fishing. These lovely blue waters have abundant seafood to give up to those anglers who know how, when, where and what to catch. As a local fisherman who has travelled and fished most of the coastline of Australia successfully, I can honestly say that I have had some of my most memorable, best and most enjoyable fishing expeditions right here on the Gold Coast.
I am not talking about having to go miles and miles offshore either, the majority of trips have been undertaken in small tinnies 12 to 15 feet. I have covered the areas from the Tweed to North Stradbroke Island, and from the Broadwater venturing offshore to approx 5 kilometers. Of course local Knowledge and skill is still definitely an asset in fishing and the Gold Coast is no different. Some of the species I have chased and caught off the Gold Coast include, Tuna, Mackeral, Marlin, Wahoo, Snapper, Mulloway, etc, plus inshore fish like Flathead, Bream, Trevally, Tailor, etc.
Recreational fishing is a wonderful sport to partake in and I love what I do and will continue to do it. There is somewhat of a misconstruction going around Australia that because of the population growth of South East Queensland the Gold Coast is all fished out, NOT TRUE! I sometimes feel frustrated when I hear this, the truth is that, there are fantastic beautiful fish to be caught easily enough if you have a little bit of insider knowledge, which I intend to share with you. The Gold Coast waters are of course vulnerable, just like all other coastal waters, but if we all obey the rules and limits, and respect the environment, I am sure that there is enough for us all to enjoy. My experience of fishing the Gold Coast has always been a pleasant one, and though of course I cannot guarantee that you will always catch fish every time you venture out.
